clearly at 9:05, on Fan's last hit you can hear the ball break. Both players agree that it broke then. That is a LET by the rules, plain and simple. I do not understand why the umpire refused to call a let. Maybe his ego got in the way.
Real problem is Jun just got frustrated and gave up after that... Chinese top 4 won't be like that. Anything can happen in a real match and you got be calm and play like yourself no matter what.
Never understoid that rule. If BOTH players agree they should have absolute power over the decisions. They are the players after all. I mean if only 1 of the players agree then the umpire should have the power
Many times happen both players to agree and the umpire to disagree, the question is why didn't fzd give the next point to jun? He lucks of sportmanship and tt fair play

Thanks a lot for this video! It has nice quality, nice angle, and nice playbacks for the points i thought should be replayed.

"It doesn't matter what both players say happened, it only matters what I say. Play please. Play please. Play please."
Yeap, ego. The umpire acted like a jerk.
Totally agree, the layman jerk umpire should be given a yellow card.

An amazingly powerful match, thumbs up for both players and a middle finger for the nonsense umpire.

Why would he do that? He's clearly winning that point.
I think u wrongly blamed Fan, he is just too shy and inexperienced to defy the umpire.
